The Supreme Court today dismissed plea by Airtel, Vodafone and TATA seeking correction of errors in demand of Adjusted Gross Revenue (AGR) dues. 

A Full Bench of Justice LN Rao, Justice S Abdul Nazeer and Justice MR Shah, concluded the hearing and reserved orders in the plea on July 19, 2021.

"We have passed order in three misc. applications - All Applications are dismissed,” bench presided by Justice L. Nageswara Rao, while pronouncing the orders, said.

In September 2020, the Top Court had granted 10 years to telecom firms such as Vodafone Idea, Bharti Airtel and Tata Teleservices for paying the AGR related dues to DOT with certain conditions. 

Telecom Companies were asked to pay 10% of their dues by March 31, 2021.

Pointing out that there were a number of errors that were made in arriving at those AGR Dues, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone in January, 2021 had approached the Supreme Court.
